Electronic Gaming System Automatic Feature Game Triggering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic gaming systems do not effectively extend gameplay and provide increased variability within games by automatically triggering bonus games without requiring additional player input.
Innovation Solution
An electronic gaming system that includes a processor configured to initiate a base game and automatically trigger one or more rounds of feature games from a single instance of the base game, using a bingo-style evaluation with additional bingo cards and ball calls, without requiring additional credit inputs from the player.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If the system triggers multiple rounds of feature games from a single base game instance, then gameplay duration and variability are extended, but processing power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system determines in advance whether a base game outcome will trigger feature games before the feature games are played. The processor identifies triggering outcomes from the base game reel outcomes and prepares to execute multiple rounds of feature games accordingly, allowing efficient resource allocation and extended gameplay without excessive processing overhead
Solution Approach 2:
The gaming system segments the feature game execution into multiple distinct rounds, where each round processes a separate triggering outcome. This segmentation allows the system to manage processing loads in discrete units, extending overall gameplay duration while controlling processing power consumption through structured, modular execution of bonus rounds
2Ease of operation
If the system automatically triggers bonus games without additional player input, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The gaming system automatically detects when base game outcomes trigger feature games and initiates the bonus rounds without requiring additional player input. The processor monitors game outcomes, identifies triggering conditions, and automatically launches multiple rounds of feature games, making the system self-serve the bonus game activation and improving ease of operation while managing complexity through automated logic

AI summary
An electronic gaming system is provided. The electronic gaming system may be configured to, in response to receiving a user input, determine that at least one winning pattern is included on a base game bingo card by electronically comparing a base game ball call to the base game bingo card, cause a base game reel outcome to be displayed on a display including a set of reels, the base game reel outcome corresponding to the at least one winning pattern, determine that a feature game is triggered, in response to the feature game being triggered, and determine that at least one new winning pattern is included (i) on a new bingo card by electronically evaluating the new bingo card using the base game ball call or (ii) on the base game bingo card by electronically evaluating the base game bingo card using a new ball call.
